Hi. I just wanted to ask a few questions. Is there an easy way to unlock BL? Like one click button to unlock? Or another way besides using the flashtool? I'm using rooted x10i 2.3.3. I rooted my x10i using DooMLoRD’s Easy Rooting Toolkit. Do unlock BL also have that kind of toolkit? Your respond is much appreciated :laugh:

It will only appear if your phone is on stock rom/kernel of 2.1 or 2.3.3. So first go to official stock rom and it will apear.
so i have first to unlock bl and then to root and install xrecovery?

remember unlocking bootloader is only optional. Stock based custom roms and kernels work with locked bootloader.
If you want to unlock bootloader, you will find a good guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Also no need to install xrecovery if you unlock bootloader. Just flash any custom kernel for unlocked bootloader
thanks again and sorry that im talkin weird, the thing is i already have a (great) stock based rom. But it is gingerbread and in future i need a ics and i CANT get one with locked bootloader
also i know that i dont need xrecovery, just wrote to ensure
thanks for fast answer

if you use DoomLords kernel u should be able to root via flashtool or SOC as it is an insecure kernel. i think....

I'd wait for a new Kernal based on the new firmware. Also if you unselect "wipe user data" you should keep your data. I did but I lost the root from my phone.
Just make sure you backup first

Thanks guys.

For overclocking you need custom kernel.
Flashing custom kernel you must be UNLOCKED bootloader.
And. No your cant overclocki.
Why you cant unlock your bootloader??

Hey, just to set this straight before i ask my question, i am not a total noob in terms of android and i have searched the web as much as i could before asking this. i have rooted my motorola cliq and asus transformer and installed custom kernels and roms on both.
Now, the problem i have is that i updated to the official 2.3.3 and i am trying to root now.
i tried these methods with all no luck:
SuperOneClick(v1.9.5 and the latest one)
Gingerbread.apk
z4root.apk
i even tried the method with abd but this error came up

Now, does anyone know an easy way to root this phone or fix my problem with abd...? also are there any ways to downgrade to 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 and just root from there and then install cwm and upgrade to cm7?
Thanks for all the help.
If it maters i have the .35 kernel.
Im running windows 7 64bit but i can use a vista or ubuntu machine if i have to..

I already tried that method though... or atleast i attempted to..
whenever i would type in adb devices i would get that picture i posted....
Holy crap, i feel like such an idiot....
ive been typing abd instead of adb this whole time. thanks for the help.
Now, my kernel ends in .35, can i flash any rom despite of that?
because i wanted to flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394007 and it says something about it being .32 based....
for. 32 based rom's you need to downgrade your baseband...search forum or check the FAQ in general section...

I tried to start the tool for the baseband flash and this error came up.
should i ignore it or am i doing something wrong..?
Nevermind, read the part about ignoring the warnings.
Wait, did i flash the right baseband?
i did the P500-v20G-baseband.7z and by kernel is still the same...
should i have flashed the P500-v10E-baseband.7z?

If you are using .54 fw then flash the .10 fw via flashtool then use bin4ry tool to get root access. And then flash. 54 fw.

I experienced the same problem. My Xperia Sola can not be rooted event using binh4ry method. My Sola is using 4.0.4 android version, and has build number 6.1.1.B.1.54.
Hi SahilTech, the .54 fw that you said before,is the last 2 digits of build number?.. if it yes, where can I get the .10 fw?..

You can find all the firmwares and roms available for Sola HERE.
But to root you need not flash back to .10 firmware,you can just acquire root access by flashing .10 kernel->root using binary's methd->then again flash .54 kernel.
You can find both the kernel files HERE.
Hope this helps.

I think no need to unlock bootloader if u want to root .587 because i had done it previously. But afaik, if u want to flash custom kernels, yes u need to unlock your bootloader and it will void your warranty -or at least until u relock it-
in a simple way;
1. u need to install flashtool to flash rootable kernel which is,
2. download rootable kernel 4.1.A.0.562 for xperia Arc (it's ok, u will find ur device in black screen after u flash it but u can root it)
3. root ur device while u are in 4.1.A.0.562 (even when ur device on black screen)
4. flash 4.1.B.0.587 kernel after that, then u will hav ICS .587 rooted..
btw, i'm using smultron, but i think we're 2011 xperian family, right? it should be the same procedures to do..
Good luck bro! :highfive:
ah, sorry i can't post link since i'm a newbie, but u can googling with keyword "root 4.1.B.0.587" and click that guide from talk.sonymobile
